No Expiration Date Podcast

Tonight’s self-care looks like: face mask on, candle lit, wine poured… and a soothing voice saying “she was last seen alive at 9:42 PM.” 😅 In this true crime episode of the No Expiration Date Podcast, we’re digging into the very real question: Why do women love true crime? (And why can we listen to murder podcasts while folding laundry… but still won’t answer the door for Amazon without checking the Ring camera first?) We unpack the stats (yes, the numbers don’t lie), the psychology behind it, and the not-so-funny truth underneath: women aren’t tuning in because we “love murder”—we’re tuning in for patterns, prevention, red flags, gut instincts, and a sense of control in a world that often doesn’t feel safe. We talk binge-worthy favorites, “gateway” shows, and the way true crime changes our real-life habits—like how we walk to our cars, how we park, and why “trust your gut” is basically our theme song. We also get real about crime against women, including the uncomfortable realities behind intimate partner violence, stalking, reporting barriers, and why the home is statistically one of the most dangerous places for women. So grab your wine, lock your doors, keep your pepper spray close, and come laugh (nervously) with us while we talk about why “bold, beautiful, and slightly paranoid” might actually be the safest vibe.

In this episode of The No Expiration Date Podcast, we sit down with Erica Radis, founder of Working Moms of San Antonio, to talk about what real empowerment looks like when women stop doing life and business alone. Erica shares the honest story behind building one of San Antonio’s most supportive communities for women business owners and working moms—from starting as a simple Facebook group to growing into a thriving space with thousands of women, in-person events, and a physical location designed for connection, collaboration, and growth. We dive into: Why traditional networking spaces don’t always work for moms The power of showing up authentically (leggings, blazers, kids and all) Breaking down gatekeeping and cattiness in women’s spaces How community supports mental health, business growth, and confidence The myth of “doing it all” and why asking for help is a strength What empowerment really means as women evolve through different life stages This is an honest, refreshing conversation about leadership, motherhood, vulnerability, and why community isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s essential. If you’ve ever felt out of place in networking rooms, overwhelmed by trying to juggle everything, or simply craving a space where you can be yourself and still grow—this episode is for you. ✨ Life after 50 (and motherhood, and reinvention) is just getting started. 🎧 Listen in and get inspired to find—or build—the community you deserve.

Feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or one Target parking lot moment away from losing it? In this episode of The No Expiration Date Podcast, Cindy and Marie sit down with Dr. Bluhm to break down EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)—also known as tapping—a simple, evidence-based tool you can use anywhere to calm your nervous system and reset in minutes. Dr. Bluhm explains what EFT is, how it’s rooted in Chinese medicine and meridians, and why it’s so different from practices like CBT or mindfulness (hint: you can learn it fast and use it on the spot—no special setting needed). We also talk about how EFT is being used to support stress, anxiety, depression, and even pain management, including its impact for veterans and those navigating PTSD. And yes… Dr. Bluhm walks us through a full, beginner-friendly tapping sequence you can follow along with right now: Rate your stress (0–10) Start with the “karate chop” point while repeating a simple affirmation Move through key tapping points (brow, temple, under eye, nose, chin, collarbone, under arm, top of head) Reassess and repeat as needed We also chat about building EFT into your daily routine, what to do if you feel self-conscious (spoiler: you can tap just on your hand), and why this tool is perfect for real life—like traffic, holiday chaos, and school pickup lines. Try it with us and see how you feel. Because as Dr. Bluhm says: stress is personal, but so is your power to manage it.
